-Geiser is a collection of Emacs major and minor modes that conspire with
-one or more Scheme interpreters to keep the Lisp Machine Spirit alive.
-It draws inspiration (and a bit more) from environments such as Common
-Lisp's Slime, Factor's FUEL, Squeak or Emacs itself, and does its best
-to make Scheme hacking inside Emacs (even more) fun. Or, to be precise,
-what i consider fun. Geiser is thus my humble contribution to the
-dynamic school of expression, and a reaction against what i perceive as
-a derailment, in modern times, of standard Scheme towards the static
-camp. Because i prefer growing and healing to poking at corpses, the
-continuously running Scheme interpreter takes the center of the stage in
-Geiser. A bundle of Elisp shims orchestrates the dialog between the
-Scheme interpreter, Emacs and, ultimately, the programmer (that means,
-hopefully, you). It asks the live image for metadata in real time,
-providing access to them using, as much as possible, standard Emacs
-idioms.
